Police Quest: SWAT (1995)

"Part multimedia textbook, part shoot-em up. SWAT plays more like an interactive `Cops' show than a graphic adventure."
- PC Gamer

Police Quest SWAT was designed to simulate the experiences of Los Angeles Police Department SWAT officers as realistically as possible. As a SWAT recruit (or SWAT pup) the player travels through different training missions, eventually earning the positions of assaulter, sniper, and element leader.

Once more, Daryl Gates, widely recognized as the "father of SWAT" served as advisor to the project. "I think in SWAT we're teaching people that we [SWAT teams] don't live in violence, that police don't respond to violence with violence unless it's absolutely essential and absolutely within the law," said Gates looking back at the game.
